1.2: on the news
~
"11 Wakandans were among those killed during a confrontation, between the avengers and a group of mercenaries, in Lagos, Nigeria last month. The traditionally reclusive Wakandans, were on an outreach mission in Lagos, whe the attack occurred." The female news anchor says before the camera cut to King T'Chaka. "Our people's blood is spilled on foreign soil, not only because of the actions of criminals, but by the indifference of those pledged to stop them. Victory at the expense of the innocent, is not victory at all." "The Wakandan king went on to-" The female anchor was then cut off by Steve turning off the tv. "They are operating outside and above the international law. Because that's the reality, if we don't respond to acts like these." Steve then follows the male anchors voice to Wanda's room. "What legal authority does an enhanced individual like Wanda Maximoff have, not only her but another enhanced individual like Lorelei Boone, have to operate in Nigeri-" Steve turned off the tv and both girls to look at him. "It's my fault." Wanda mutters and Lorelei puts her arm around the witch. "That's not true." Steve said. "Turn the tv back on, they're being very spefific." Wanda told the older man. "They're also getting to the part where we're terroists." Lorelei cut in with sad look on her face. "I should have clocked the bomb vest, long before you had to deal with it. Rumlow said 'Bucky' and all of a sudden I was a 16-year-old kid again, in Brooklyn. And people died." The super soldier sat down on the witchs bed. "It's on me." "It's on both of us." "All of us." Lorelei muttered. "This job... we try to save as many people as we can. Sometimes that doesn't mean everybody. But if we can't find a way to live with that, then next time, maybe nobody gets saved." Steve told the two youngest members of the team. Wanda as 18 and Lorelei at 15.

They look down as Vision comes throught the wall. "Toaster!" "Vis! We talked about this." Wanda scolds as Lorelei quietly cheers. "Yes, but the door was open so I assumed that- Captain Rogers wished to know when Mr.Stark was arriving. And I am an android not a toaster, Ms.Boone." He stopped trying to rebutal himself for not using the door. "Same difference. Have you seen the toaster in the kitchen?" Lorelei looked at the android. "Thank you. We'll be right down." "I'll use the door. Oh, and apparently he's brought a quest." "We know who it is?" "The seceretary of State." Vision stated before walking out, using the door. "Oh fuck." Lorelei cursed getting up.
